NAME
     idmapd - Native Identity Mapping service daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/idmapd


DESCRIPTION
     The idmapd daemon maps Windows Security  Identifiers  (SIDs)

     The idmap(1M) utility provides a front  end  to  the  idmapd
     daemon.

     /var/run/idmap/idmap.db

         Database in which to cache ID  mappings  that  are  gen-

NOTES
     The idmapd service is  managed  by  the  service  management
     facility  (SMF).  The service identifier for the idmapd ser-
     vice is svc:/system/idmap.


     Use the svcadm command to perform administrative actions  on
     this service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting the
     service. These actions require the  solaris.smf.manage.idmap
     authorization.  Use  the svcs command to query the service's
     status.


     The functionality of this daemon might change  in  a  future
     release of the Solaris operating system.
